Sometimes we need to wait...

The current philosophy is that we need to live in the present moment and that waiting for the perfect moment is fruitless, because the perfect moment is now. If we truly live in the present moment we are sometimes guided to wait. Waiting contains a negative connotation, such as waiting in a doctor's office or waiting in line at the DMV. I believe there is a positive side to waiting, such as waiting for a flower to come into full bloom or waiting for the birth of a child. There is beauty and perfection in divine timing. There have been many times in my life when I knew something needed to be said, but if it were said to soon, it would fall on deaf ears. I knew I would have to wait and when the time was right, it would present itself. When the guidance I received was to wait, and I instinctively did so, the proper moment to speak up always presented itself. In a time of instant gratification and entitlement, we need to consider that waiting is not a passive state of being. Waiting is part of the process of creativity and maturation. What are you waiting for?
